Gannon, excellent class. Enjoyed how you presented the material; it was very easy to understand, and the visuals of code you gave I'm sure will prove to be beneficial as we get into more complicated material.

Thanks for taking the time to teach this class! I look forward to many more.

Very appreciative of your thanks I am. O.o

I see a lot of people coming onto these forums asking a lot of questions that I used to ask, or that we solved in classes at school, so I figure I can help these guys a lot. Also, it seems to me that College Professors leave a LOT of research up to their students, whereas my high school classes have pretty much covered everything I needed to know for a project. So I'm going to try and make a point of explaining as much as I know that's relevant to assignments that I might include (That's right! You might have homework! :-P). Finally, I'm going to try and teach some C++ while having fun - who wants to listen to a boring old instructor!?

I just hope that I am able to explain things thoroughly - I'll be the first to admit that I'm one of the more inexperienced programmers here. I'd like to thank Banfa for any input he has for the lessons, as I'm sure two heads are better than one in this case.

WOW Ganon11 your class is the best ;) thanks :) its very well explained, and Im impressed with way that you teach. You started from the really basic and your gradually going to teach more complex things.

cant wait for the next class ;)

I still think printf & scanf look 1000% better than cin & cout. Something about the look of it.

**Ganon11** · Dec 22 '06, 08:30 PM

I haven't learned printf and scanf - as long as I've been doing C++ it's been cout and cin.

I think it is what you lkearnt first that you like best!

Hey all readers,

I'm sorry for the delay in updating the 4th class - it's taken me a bit to write it, and it should be entering the final stages (checking by peers, etc.) soon - so look for the class to be up within the next week (hopefully).

Then I'll have to decide what to write the 5th class on.

Quick question:
I tried to do your little exercise at the end and I came up with this:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    int a;
    int b;
    int c;
    cout << "Enter an integer: " ;
    cin >> a;
    cout << "and another: " ;
    cin >> b;
    cout << "and another: " ;
    cin >> c;
    cout << "a = " << a << "     b = " << b << "     c = " << c << "    Total sum = " << a+b+c << endl;
    string x;
    cout << "Enter a word: " << endl;
    cin >> x;
    cout << "Enter a sentence: " << endl;
    string z;
    getline(cin, z);
    cout << "x = " << x << "     z = " << z << endl;
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

everything works fine until it gets to the getline func. I enter in the input for variable x and after that it doesnt wait for me to enter input for variable z, it just displays "z = ".
I think it's because it gets the input from the first prompt because if i type in two words for 'x', the first one goes to 'x', and the second goes to 'z'.
How can I fix that??

I was wondering if I could have a link of creating classes by Ganon11 :D because I'm kind of confuse about classes.

**TRScheel** · Jun 14 '07, 04:47 PM

Ganon, your last class is missing the declaration of 'decision' in one of the code snippets.

Or I could be blind.

One of the two.

Otherwise, good work. Really well done.
